I know they can be hard on paint but so are rocks and other debris. All the places I've checked only carry bras for 86 and on. TIA Dave,84 242 turbo 176000 and growing

Hello,

I occasionally see them on eBay for greatly inflated prices, but take it from an old dawg of a car salesman. Don't buy one of those. They trap moisture resulting in peeling paint. Every time it rains. Everytime you wash the car. In the winter (at least up north where it snows) they are totally useless.

3M makes what is called Hoodsaver tape. Clear tape that goes over exposed areas of the hood. Much better choice to reduce chips. The other choice would be a paint job that has a decent coat of chip resistant primer.
